Actually, I'm glad that I didn't get a sunroof cuz I generally like to sit high in the car and when I test drove the G with a sunroof, I though to myself that the car didn't have much head room. I think head room increases by like 1.5 inches, but that 1.5 makes a difference.

Not even close to 2 inches
do race cars have leather seats? power windows? door locks? etc etc

OMG I cannot even imagine my G with no sunroof...
*I usually tilt it open at night, it's great & quiet and provides ventillation without the need to have the windows open which causes drag and burns more gas at highway speeds.
*When the weather is nice and I'm just cruising, there is nothing better than opening the roof & windows and riding, it's the closest you get to a convertible!
*When it's raining and I don't want to run the AC I tilt the roof and the car is confortable; the air flows well and dry, right through the car.
*When you have to park out in the sun you can tilt the roof then lock up the car, the heat escapes from the high opening keeping the car much cooler inside, especially with the dark tint.
*When you smoke that car that was just messing with you, you can wave bye bye through the open roof!
*Females love it!
I could go on & on!

I like toys and gadgets. If I would have been comfortable with a sunroof, I would have gotten one and not suffered through three months of torture waiting for my car
That said...after two years of ownership, if I had to do it over again I would order the car again without a sunroof even if there was enough headroom to begin with.EDIT! I just realized you have a non-roof car as well if that is you on the track
Dude, you gotta realize its more that .5 of an inch! Nice looking ride by the way.... Is that a G35 coupe? With no sunroof??!! I didn't know they came that way

Also, better than 98% of G owners will not track the car so it makes no difference if it's race legal or not to them.
Hey it's cool if people don't want a roof in the car, I just would like to let people that may be wondering know just how nice it is to have for those that did decide to get it, the car is absolutlely beautifull with or without it!
